Streams In The Deser


"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."


Rivers of living water. Not bottles, but rivers - fresh, lively, sparkling,
abundant, and unending. Some people live for what comes out of a bottle ... but Jesus wants you to experience a fresh, vibrant ‘river.' Television provides life's highlights for millions of people - just watching others live, or pretending to live; even for children, who have forgotten how to play.

Remember, people are always ‘going to live', but only after things change; after working for hours, or when they have money, or when they get married, or retire, or go on holiday, or whatever. Jesus came to give you life now. No waiting - wherever you are, whatever you are doing. He makes life live.

New water, new wine:

"No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

God wrote His plan for Israel in the wilderness, across a blackboard forty years wide. The Israelites did not have to drink stale, flat water from skins - the Lord opened bubbling streams from a rock. The Temple drink offering was a celebration in memory of that wilderness water. Jesus, however, gave it a new and glorious meaning, a symbol of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That symbol is a precious reminder for you today that God has made a provision in your life of fresh, lively, sparkling, abundant, unending waters of refreshment and restoration. Let that river flow in you today!


Todays´s Scripture
I have come that they may have life, and that they mayhave it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

Daily Power!
God has made a provision for my life of fresh, lively, sparkling, abundant, unending waters of refreshment and restoration.
